Theories in Computer human interaction Fitts’ Law: Modeling Movement Time in HCI
نویسنده
چکیده
Fitts' law is a model of human psychomotor behavior developed in 1954 [6]. Extending Shannon’s theorem 17 in information theory (a formulation of effective information capacity of a communication channel), Fitts discovered a formal relationship that models speed/accuracy tradeoffs in rapid, aimed movement (not drawing or writing). According to Fitts’ Law, the time to move and point to a target of width W at a distance A is a logarithmic function of the spatial relative error (A/W), that is [11]:

Fitts' Law as a Research and Design Tool in Human-Computer Interaction
According to Fitts' law, human movement can be modeled by analogy to the transmission of information. Fitts' popular model has been widely adopted in numerous research areas, including kinematics, human factors, and (recently) human-computer interaction (HCI). The present study provides a historical and theoretical context for the model, including an analysis of problems that have emerged throu...
متن کاملSpeed-accuracy tradeoff in Fitts' law tasks-on the equivalency of actual and nominal pointing precision
accuracy trade-off in Fitts' law tasks — On the equivalency of actual and nominal pointing precision. ABSTRACT Pointing tasks in human computer interaction obey certain speed-accuracy tradeoff rules. In general, the more accurate the task to be accomplished, the longer it takes, and vice versa. Fitts' law models the speed-accuracy tradeoff effect in pointing as imposed by the task parameters, t...
متن کاملInformation Theoretic Models of HCI: A Comparison of the Hick-Hyman Law and Fitts' Law
The Hick-Hyman Law and Fitts’ Law are two surviving human performance principles based on Shannon and Weaver’s (1949) Information Theory. In the early 1980s, Card, Moran, and Newell (1983) presented the laws as design principles for developers to maximize usability in the design of human–computer interfaces. A search of the current human–computer interaction (HCI) literature, however, will reve...
متن کاملA Literature Survey on Fitts’ Law and its Applications
The way of pointing a target object and the movement time of the pointer lead to a challanging problem in HCI. A large number of seminal paper have been proposed towards this. Moreover, the HCI community uses few formulas, and are related to Fitts’ law. Few are derived from Shannon’s information theory. This paper introduces a survey on Fitts’ law and its derivatives. Finally, we study the vari...
متن کاملHuman Computer Interaction Using Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition
With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...
